Default Ohio State and PSA's agreement

I have not seen this posted yet so I wanted to pass it along.

The Ohio State University and PSA Airlines to Sign Pilot Training Bridge Program Agreement | Ohio State University Center for Aviation Studies

looks like PSA will give preferential interviews to graduates of the aviation program. Not a new thought process however it does show that some airlines are in fact concerned with getting pilots.

Unless you live in or near one of our bases, I would take your degree to a "better" regional. Check out the various PSA threads to see what I am talking about.

This may be helpful to OSU seniors, but I wouldn't use it (or any other bride program) as a basis for selecting a college.

These programs come and go notoriously and are not to be relied upon.

Even if the minimums are lowered for a graduate of a University Aviation Program - how will PSA help these graduates get those required minimum flight hours after completing the basic training?

Read the article. It says participants must work a minimum of 2 semesters as a flight instructor for the university. I'm sure it would take a little more than 2 to get the required hours.

Too bad you can't just write a check for the ATP. That would make things easy.
